How to register
Registration happens here on the CNZ website, not on ClimbAlong. There are two steps, and your entry isn’t complete until you’ve done both. You’ll need a credit or debit card for each.
Step 1 — Become a CNZ member. Every athlete needs a current CNZ membership, which carries the domestic licence you need to compete. Create an account, then add your athlete or athletes.
Step 2 — Enter the competition. Once your membership is paid, open the Athlete portal. You’ll see your athletes listed, with an invitation to enter the Boulder & Rope B Nationals. Click through, choose Boulder, Lead or both, and follow the prompts.
